Up to now HMD users had to limit their action area to a small field of some few square meters, due to a lower tracking quality and resulting jitter and latency problems of current out-of-the-box HMD devices.

"Combining ART's high quality tracking cameras with LP Research’s inertial sensors and advanced SteamVR driver software, users can experience high quality VR on very large areas. This opens up exciting new opportunities – both in industrial and gaming applications. ART's expertise in tracking large areas with few cameras and LP Research's advanced inertial sensors especially allow covering very large areas without overhead construction”, says Andreas Werner, Sales Director at ART.

“By integration of our latest SteamVR driver software no additional plugins for Unity, Unreal or your development platform of choice is needed — support is automatic and prompt”, promises LP Research CEO Klaus Petersen.

Resulting benefits of the cooperation project are:

Large scale and high quality tracking is now also possible for HMD applications

Several HMD users can act and interact at the same time

No cables are disturbing thanks to a handy rucksack solution

Any existing SteamVR application now automatically supports large tracking areas

Fully embedded in SteamVR driver, so reprojection is supported

No additional plugins for your development platform is needed

HMD devices like the HTC VIVE and VIVE Pro are already supported, further will follow soon.
